Kill Intrinsic (subroutine)
...........................

     CALL Kill(PID, SIGNAL, STATUS)

PID: `INTEGER'; scalar; INTENT(IN).

SIGNAL: `INTEGER'; scalar; INTENT(IN).

STATUS: `INTEGER(KIND=1)'; OPTIONAL; scalar; INTENT(OUT).

Intrinsic groups: `unix'.

Description:

   Sends the signal specified by SIGNAL to the process PID.  If the
STATUS argument is supplied, it contains 0 on success or a non-zero
error code upon return.  See `kill(2)'.

   Some non-GNU implementations of Fortran provide this intrinsic as
only a function, not as a subroutine, or do not support the (optional)
STATUS argument.

Intrinsic (function).
